Command 97 Posted June 22, 2015 Downsides, compared to what? A more expensive cutter? The most obvious downside is that is comes with a stepper motor as opposed to a digital servo motor. The latter is more accurate, quieter, and precise. Also, it is probable that the machine will die sooner than a Roland, Graphtec, or Summa. What is guaranteed is that it comes with a 1 year warranty backed by good for the price service. The LP2 is a good machine for the cost. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrfibble 77 Posted June 22, 2015 yeah id love a "good" but just dont have the readies noise isnt an issue as its just me the wife and too many cats and i tend to cut in the morning once she has left for work I guess instead of increasing colour selection ill they monies from decal sales at my mates comic shop into a piggy bank in the hopes of getting a Roland or GraphTec one day..... thanks for the reply David C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macon Innovations 228 Posted June 22, 2015 I've only had my LP2 for a short time now....The only complaint I have is it kind of freezes up in the middle of larger cuts some times.....And yes I'm using a keyspan adapter..By larger I'm talking 24 X 72 banners...But for small quick stuff it works great and cuts very accurate...

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted June 22, 2015 I've only had my LP2 for a short time now....The only complaint I have is it kind of freezes up in the middle of larger cuts some times.....And yes I'm using a keyspan adapter..By larger I'm talking 24 X 72 banners...But for small quick stuff it works great and cuts very accurate... I've done 12' signs with mine no problem and no keyspan then I loaned it to another shop and they couldn't cut 2' without problems. A keyspan adapter fixed the problem but it made me realize it's not just the cutter and sometimes the computer aids in the problem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenwind / One Off Grafx 187 Posted June 22, 2015 Had mine just over a year . The only trouble i had was the pinch rollers. US cutter did not stock them. So went to a site in china and got just the wheels for about $5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kcross47601 13 Posted June 26, 2015 I've had mine about 8 months, it's the 50" model. I've cut high temp, glitter, metallic and regular 651 vinyl on mine on almost a daily basis ever since and only problem I've had was the z axis on the carriage. Was a easy fix and not very expensive.
